Reading Metadata from Uncommon File Formats

Hello! I was wondering if it is possible for Exiftool to read metadata from uncommon file formats. The ones I'm specifically looking at are typically art program files saved with layers. I have .CSP .MPD .PSD .SAI and oddly enough, .GIF file formats not sorting.

The command I used is as follows;

exiftool -m -r -Directory=C:\Users\USERNAME\OneDrive\Pictures\My_Art\Files_with_no_DateTimeOriginal_Metadata "-Directory<FileCreateDate" -d "C:\Users\USERNAME\OneDrive\Pictures\My_Art/%Y/%m %B" "C:\Users\zaada\OneDrive\Pictures\My_Art"
AHHHHHHH!!!!

If the file type is listed on the Supported File Types table, but is listed as Read only, not Write, then this is FAQ #16.
"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
Please use the Code button for exiftool output

Please include your OS/Exiftool version/filetype

Thank you very much, I didn't find that supported file types table on my first check through of the site. Really unfortunate that it cannot read the more obscure layer files, it's going to be a pain to manually sort through... I totally get it though.
AHHHHHHH!!!!
